News : And Soundwave 2015 band #3 (well, sort of #5) is…

By on August 6, 2014

The drip-feed is torture, we know. There seems to be a lot of hatred on the internet for the fact the first few announcements have been smaller bands, but if you ask us that’s actually pretty cool. Soundwave are using this five days to get people to listen to bands that would ordinarily be hidden lower in the line-up, and isn’t one of the major benefits of a festival discovering new artists that you might not have heard otherwise?

Regardless, act #3 in is Butcher Babies. Below is a video, check it out if you’re not familiar with them, maybe you’ll dig it. The previous two announcements were Japanese metalcore act coldrain and and US pop-punkers Patent Pending. Australian bands Confession and Ne Obliviscaris have both been “confirmed” on AJ’s Twitter account, and apparently Slipknot are a very strong chance according to various online sources, which wouldn’t be a big surprise given the timing of their album.

Stay tuned for more announcements…
